WARNING Softorbits DO NOT RESPECT THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR SYSTEMS. They build their programs and installers to bypass admin protections on program installation to allow non-admins like children and employees to install programs when they are not authorised or allowed to install unauthorised programs. They FORCE installation to the system drive, and force installation into an insecure folder hierarchy in the user AppData folders subfolder which is not write protected against non-elevated malware. I do not recommend the installation of products by such a self-serving malicious developer on your machines.
Also as as this claims to be a Privacy Protector for windows 10/11 that kinda means it should control admin only settings in windows registry in which case it will require UAC elevation to operate, if it doesn’t then it’s not doing the job it claims to do and if it does then there is NO EXCUSE for breaking security best practice rules by forcing installation into an insecure location on the system drive they should have installed into the proper location C:\Program Files and not users AppData hierarchy.[ @Ashraf] The first time I tried to install it and register it with the key supplied, it didn’t work, it hung. The second time, after uninstalling it, it has taken ages to get things done. Hard to tell if it’s just slow or frozen?
Second dialogue box that I didn’t see LOL, that was holding it up.
If you mean system tray, when you say “apps in the background”, it didn’t make any changes there.
Don’t trust software that can’t spell the first thing in their own feature list:
“• Contrana”In the only thing I can think of to say nice about the standard bloated genuflection that this place calls their enhanced description, it did get that name right.
Bitdefender considers Privacy Protector to be malicious! It even uninstalled and completely eliminated it from the system.
I asked the question to Softorbits, no answer.
It’s disturbing.MAKE SURE if you are using THIS program – it CAN by default BLOCK your webcam, if you find your zoom they can’t see you, and you have used THIS then that’s why! LOL. I am switching off that part today, just because my camera was LOCKED OUT of the meeting. I could hear and speak, but they couldn’t see me.
